Dell warrenty. Worth sending it in?

[brieze]

I'm kind of unsure what to do.. When I bought my laptop in 09, I bought a 5 year hardware warranty on it. Right, for the past year or so, the headphone jacks have been a little shoty. Headphones will only work in certain angles, then after a few weeks, they become harder to manipulate and finally stop working. Every brand of headphones works like that and it's sucking up too much money to keep buying new sets. Besides a few aesthetic damages, nothing else needs fixed.
We have, some "questionable content" on it. A lot actually.

Would it be worth it to get the content off to send it in for repair, or is a headphone jack something I can easily fix?

If you're sure they can reproduce the problem easily then go for it. Opening it up can be fiddly - I know from my previous Dell laptop. Not forgetting that you may invalidate any extended warranty doing that too.

Good point about the warranty. I worked too hard at talking them down in price to forfeit it lol.
